Embracing Language Diversity in Your Classroom (SchoolEducationGateway)

Movement within and into Europe as well as international school projects made our continent more language diverse. But dealing with multilingual classrooms isn’t self-evident. The new Teacher Academy course ‘Embracing Language Diversity in Your Classroom’ helps you to utilise the different language skills in the classroom, and provides you with practical tools and resources. The course also introduces innovative pedagogical approaches and sheds light on different European initiatives supporting language learning.

Free movement within Europe and migration into the continent have made its language situation increasingly diverse. Integrating students who don’t speak the main classroom language isn’t self-evident. And while teachers often already are language-aware, linguistic diversity isn’t always recognised as a valuable pedagogical resource.

The new Teacher Academy course ‘Embracing Language Diversity in Your Classroom’ helps teachers of all levels and subjects to embrace linguistic diversity and use talents present in the classroom. The course provides tools and resources that can easily be integrated in lessons, introduces innovative pedagogical approaches, and sheds light on different European initiatives that support your students’ language learning.

Resilient Teaching Through Times of Crisis and Change (Coursera)

Resilient teaching is the ability to facilitate learning experiences that are designed to be adaptable to fluctuating conditions and disruptions. This teaching ability can be seen as an outcome of a design approach that attends to the relationship between learning goals and activities, and the environments they are situated in. Resilient teaching approaches take into account how a dynamic learning context may require new forms of interactions between teachers, students, content, and tools. Additionally, they necessitate the capacity to rethink the design of learning experiences based on a nuanced understanding of context.
